From the 'Burg to Your Kitchen

This past Sunday started my favorite season of all – Football! I was also hungry for some tasty beef stew and some biscuits, so I gathered my ingredients together for a simple version and put them in the crock pot, so I could enjoy a Sunday full of NFL football even though my team played Monday evening.

I decided to share this quick, easy and most importantly, tasty, recipe with you all this week!

2 lbs. beef stew meat

2 cans (14-½ each) of beef broth
